Testimonials / Reviews for Jason Blalack

Mark Coup – Sept. 3, 2018

(google) I came to Jason seeking help with depression and anxiety. I have prior therapy experience and a pharmaceutical medication list pages long. I wanted to try something different in conjunction with my current therapy program and have been interested in acupuncture/diet’s ability to help my situation.
Jason is a Pro at providing insights into the mind/body’s reactions to thoughts about everyday events. The work we have been doing together is uncovering years of junk built on top of an inaccurate belief system.
I would recommend Jason to anybody experiencing dis-integration of any part of themselves. He has been patient and compassionate with me during this process, and will continue to work with him for as long as I need to.

Suzy Cohen – May, 2018 (google) Jason is a wonderful healer, and I highly recommend him! There is no other acupuncturist like him, he does so much more. Jason will get to the heart of your problem very quickly and FIX it 🙂

Marcia Hall – Feb, 2018 (google) I have been seeing Jason for several years for Multiple Chemical Sensitivity and his expertise has helped me learn about and deal with this very difficult health issue and others that I have been encountering. As I struggle with all the different exposures, and my body’s reaction to them, Jason had continued to keep abreast of all the new treatments, and nutrients that are helpful for my body to heal. For the last few weeks, I have been feeling extremely exhausted, and having a difficult time functioning. Jason , as usual, listened to me, asked some questions, and did his acupuncture treatment adding a special blend of tea to use at home. Within a day, I was feeling much better. During the week I was able to do my full days work without the incredible fatigue I’d been feeling, and without having to stop for extended periods of rest. It’s the best I’ve felt for a LONG time. Getting better isn’t always that big or fast of an improvement, but I always improve with Jason’s treatments, care and advice. This time was amazing, and I am so thankful. Thank you Jason!

Dayna Seraye – Nov., 2017 (google) Jason is an exceptional practitioner. I have been working with him for years now and he is a very generous, perceptive and skillful support for all my health care needs.

Sandra Papazian – Dec. 2017

(google) I had digestion problems and was diagnosed by a doctor as having H. Pylori bacteria in my system. That problem was treated with a intense dose of antibiotics that was painful and made me sick and disoriented. After the treatment I still had the bacteria. The doctor wanted to give a another mega treatment of antibiotics. I couldn’t go through that again. That is when I began treatment with Jason. Acupuncture and herbal tea and over the counter supplements that he recommended. I did this for two months. Then I had another test made for H. Pylori and the results were negative! Thank you Jason for your knowledge, treatment and helpful counseling. I am so grateful.

Yashoda Devi Ma – May 15, 2017

(google) Jason is amazing at what he does. I recommend him to all my Vedic Meditation students and community.

Kelly Graves – March 13, 2017

(google) It would be impossible to express my gratitude for Jason’s work, however, I feel it important to comment. I began seeing Jason after starting to experience neurological issues (vertigo and a limp). After several weeks later I was diagnosed with MS. Not only has Jason help me to begin to heal physically, but he also provided a compassionate healing presence that has acted as a necessary antidote to the biomedical lens that this autoimmune disease is often understood. I truly believe this has been the most important thing I have done in addressing the onset of this disease and I encourage others suffering from MS or other autoimmune diseases to consider Open Gate Acupuncture.

Hanneh Rudkilde – Sept. 2016

(google) Jason Blalack is an extraordinarily gifted, sincerely caring and ever evolving acupuncturist and human being. He runs his practice Open Gate Acupuncture in Boulder – with the highest integrity and it is obvious that he loves what he does. I trust him 100% and always look forward to my visits.

Karyn Young – Aug. 2016

(google) Jason is an excellent acupuncturist for chronic and major illness. He has studied medicine for a significant number of years and even learned Chinese so he could read Chinese texts and not rely on a translator which may be unclear or even inaccurate. He’s dedicated to what he does.

I saw Jason for 8 months for a condition that has been undiagnosable from a Western medicine perspective. I have tended to call it Chronic Fatigue for lack of another label. There has been significant improvement in my condition up through December of 2013. Then in January of 2014, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and now Jason is supporting me with both the chronic fatigue and cancer treatment which currently involves chemo. I love that I have a plan in place that includes supplements and herbs to build my body strength between chemo treatments.One of the great things about Jason is his approach. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and yet spacious and warm. When he’s sitting and talking with you, you can see his mind is moving fast and he’s processing everything at lightening speed. When I get on his table, he slows down, centers (almost imperceptibly) and checks pulses. When he places needles, he uses his intuition in addition to logic. And often my intuition and his intuition are in conversation. I feel like I am integral to his choices and actions. He trusts me and I trust him.Given that my illness has lasted 7 years thus far, I have seen many practitioners. For me Jason has been the best.

David Fackler – July, 2016

(google) Having little prior experience with Chinese Medicine, Jason was great to work with. He listened intently and really made sure to get at the root of the issue rather than simply looking at the symptoms. He explained everything in a very clear and helpful way that allowed me to feel comfortable and confident in the acupuncture and herbal tea treatments.

Neely Quinn – Aug, 2016

(google) Before I started seeing Jason, I’d been saying I wanted a spiritual teacher. So when I went to see Jason for an issue I was having with my ear, it came as a surprise to me that he sort of became my spiritual teacher and has been instrumental in me coming out of a major bout of depression/anxiety.While the herbs didn’t really agree with me (something about them – maybe it was placebo – gave me very bad anxiety), the needles and our weekly talks have helped me calm down my nervous system enough that I’m now successfully coming off of my anti-depressant, Remeron.He taught me a different meaning of meditation and how to use it in my life. He taught me about the “second arrow” in Buddhism, which is the feeling or thought you have after experiencing an emotion. For instance, feeling guilty or frustrated about having anxiety about something. I realized I was doing that all the time to myself and Jason helped me realize it was unnecessary and I could just let it go.Honestly, he’s helped me love, forgive, and accept myself for maybe the first time in my life. And I’ve been to a lot of therapists over the last 2 years, so that’s saying a lot!Besides that, though, he helped put my shoulder back together, which I was fully planning on having surgery on. And when I’ve had other tweaks and pains (I’m a rock climber), he’s helped them go away quickly.My period has changed for the better since I started seeing him, and I’ve only been having a fraction of the amount of breast pain I used to have before my period.But most of all, I have a lot of really good days now where I don’t have intense anxiety, and I can attribute that very much to Jason’s guidance, encouragement, and acupuncture. So thank you for that, Jason. I’d recommend you to anyone.

Julie alexander, July, 2016

(google) Jason has been a game changer for my health. After so many other Dr’s. and no real significant change, coming to him and receiving acupuncture, the tea that he blends specifically for my issues and just speaking with him on his beliefs on what the body can do once you can get it to a state of health, has helped so much! I believe in him, his knowledge of Chinese medicine and acupuncture. He has a very soothing personality, just being in his office is calming. Most importantly, Jason listens! I highly recommend him to everyone ….I have faith that whatever ails you, he can surely be of help.

Nicole Dunas, Dec. 2015

(google) I found Jason’s understanding of Chinese herbalism masterful. He understands not only how to diagnose and prescribe, yet also which herbs, given the condition and situation, are likely to support the body in developing the mechanism to heal itself, which is why, I feel, that his patients get long lasting results. He also has a great capacity with acupuncture (I dislike needles and never felt worried getting acupuncture with him). Last, he listens carefully and shows kindness and acceptance to patients, which helped me to feel safe in bringing up all of my questions and concerns!! I felt some fear when I went to see him, as I thought I might have a serious condition, and he sat with me through it all, reading tests, offering acupuncture and herbs, and helping me get to the root of what was happening (which luckily was not serious), and to heal.

Ellen Boeder, 2015

(google) I started seeing Jason about a year ago for an autoimmune disease that few other practitioners knew how to help me with, and western medicine had nothing but medications for. He has helped me tremendously, through educating me on my condition, and gradually helping me find my way through and out of it. It seems that through working with him I am becoming healthier than I have ever been! Jason’s intelligence and scope of understanding on complex health issues, his methodical approach, and investment in seeing results as well as in me feeling better, have helped me trust I am in very good hands. He is a great listener and always seems to be studying and learning himself, which makes for a dynamic clinician. I highly recommend him.

Ken Hess, Aug. 2016

(google) Feeling much better — both mind and body. You are a true healer, Jason.

Liana Pomeroy, 2015

(google) Jason Blalack is simply amazing! After years of trying to figure out what was going on with my health, Jason was the first doctor – Eastern or Western – to make a significant impact – he was able to diagnose my adrenal burnout and digestive issues and with a combination of Chinese herbs, gentle and almost painless needles (I’m extremely wimpy and was pleasantly surprised at how much they do not hurt), and a change in diet, Jason took me from exhaustion to health in less than a year after years and years of searching for the right cure. If I hadn’t found him, I’m not sure what I would have done. He’s funny, patient, impeccable, precise, and has the best bedside manner. I trust him implicitly.

Marianne Okal, 2015

(google) I originally came to Good Earth (at the time Chautauqua Health) in 2009 after suffering from recurring skin infections (boils) for about a year; my regular docs would prescribe antibiotics, I would heal and a couple of months later I would again be subjected to a new round of (truly disgusting and painful) boils. After a year of this, I felt desperate. I had never experienced Chinese medicine before, but I felt like the antibiotics were making me weaker – I felt and looked 10 years older – and certainly not solving the problem. A Google search led me to Good Earth.

Jason was FANTASTIC. He prescribed some temporary dietary changes, herbal medicine and did acupuncture, and after a couple of months, that was that. No more boils, no more antibiotics, I was back to my normal health. I was also advised on some more long-term dietary changes that would benefit me in the long run (but with zero pressure).The best part, however, is that I really feel that the patient-doctor relationship at Good Earth is very dynamic and organic; there is so much care and attention given to you, the patient, and your needs and wants. I’ve since been back for a few other minor issues, and I’ve seen both Kate and Jason. I can’t speak highly enough of both of them. They are both remarkable listeners, they are bright, compassionate and highly talented healers.

Annie Gifford, 2014

(google) I have seen Jason for many years for the treatment of arthritis and various other complaints. Throughout, Jason has been compassionate and thorough, always going the extra mile to ensure that his treatments were procuring the best possible results for my conditions.

Ten years ago, a doctor told me I would be looking at knee replacements by now, which is not the case. I am still working out daily with little pain. I attribute my current well-being to Jason’s expertise administering Chinese herbs and acupuncture. He has made many trips to China to study with acclaimed Eastern doctors, and kindly shares the extensive knowledge of Eastern medicine that he has acquired, much to the benefit all who are under his care. Five stars!!

Jennifer roberts, 2014

(google) Jason is a very thorough and compassionate acupuncturist. His understanding and breadth of knowledge of Chinese medicine is impressive and you feel like you’re in the presence of someone who really understands the body and how to help it!

Gabriela Vintimilla, 2014

(google) A few years back I suffered of a notable energetic decay. I felt a strenuous fatigue, I had digestive difficulties, somnolence during the day and at night I suffered of insomnia. Because of this somnolence I put myself and my family in danger a few times while driving a car in the highway. After these incidents I decided to seek medical help, consequently, I went to various doctors of Chinese medicine in Chicago. However, their treatments were ineffective and even they worsened my state of health.

I kept my quest for a doctor in Chinese medicine, basing my search on a physician that was also a researcher. According to that criteria I came across Jason Blalack’s profile and upon reading his cases analysis I was impressed by his ability of diagnosis and the respect he earned from other doctors that have participated in these analysis.
Jason Blalack was accurate in his diagnosis and treatment. After a few days I returned to my country Ecuador and he continued giving me treatment indications despite the distance. The result of his treatment was excellent. Jason Blalack is someone who cares about the patient and his wellbeing and will keep offering his generous help.

Candy Brad, 2014

(google) I started going to Jason a few years ago when I was diagnosed with tinnitus. The options available to me with traditional western medicine were slim and not anything I was interested in trying. I had utilized acupuncture in the past for allergies and had responded well. However, my response this go around was amazing! Within one session and starting Chinese Herbs, my tinnitus was gone. We continued to work on my underlying constitutional issues for about five months. I am thrilled to report that the tinnitus has not returned and all is well. Jason has a wonderful understanding of the complexities of Traditional Chinese Medicine and I wholeheartedly recommend him!

Bob King (Zen Pig), 2014

(google) I had a very positive experience with Jason at Good Earth Acupuncture. This is the real deal, and do not expect to be given bottles of pills to swallow. The herbs are imported in bulk, and guaranteed for freshness, and free from pesticides. Jason’s knowledge of Chinese medicine was well rounded, and helped me with a very serious health concern. I would recommend his practice to all concerned.

Justin Gindlesperger, 2014

(google) After my first acupuncturist moved, she recommended Jason because she went to Jason for her own treatments!

Jason is great! Through his use of acupuncture and herbs I felt real progress on my conditions – something no other doctor was able to achieve. His knowledge of the body, body processes and treatments through Chinese medicine are simply amazing. It seems he is always trying to learn more to increase the quality of the services he provides. Thanks Jason.

Maynardfan A, 2014

(google) Jason is excellent at what he does. He’s compassionate and very knowlegeable. I went to see him for liver problems, migraines, and menstrual problems. My biggest issue were the horrible migraines that I’ve been suffering with for years. I was looking for relief without pain killers and couldn’t be more happy with the results of Jason’s treatments. The acupunture and herbs got my body back on track and pretty much eliminated my migraines! I highly recommend him. He’s the best acupunturist I’ve been to and his prices are very reasonable.

Erin M., 2014

(google) I saw Jason for a very rare skin disease that caused inflammation throughout my entire body. Jason’s knowledge of the body, how it works and his deep understanding of chinese medicinal herbs that can heal, support and strenghthen the body helped me get to remission much faster than many individuals that are afflicted with the disease. Jason was also able to address g.i. issues that have plagued me for years. I feel fortunate to have been under his care.

Nor Narita, 2014

(google) I was suffering from acute pain in the area of my upper back and shoulder blades due to repetitive motion injuries caused by using a computer mouse for 30 years. The pain was sharp and intense, and was not responding to the Western techniques and medication I had tried, such as narcotic pain relievers, muscle relaxants and physical therapy. Sometimes I would feel better, but the feeling was short-lived. I was able to get relief from Kate Blalack with a combination of acupuncture, cups and Chinese herbs. She did wonders for me. It has been a few years since my treatments, and even though I haven’t seen her since then, I am still pain-free.

Previous to the above issue, I had problems with lower back pain and spasms, and Jason was able to treat those symptoms successfully. Again, it has been many years since I received treatment from him, and I have not been bothered with lower back spasms since.
Jason is very professional, yet friendly and a delight to talk to. I recommend Jason without reservations.

Beth Marvel, 2014

(google) Jason’s real mastery is in herbal formulas. Jason tuned a formula that helped with my peri-menupausal symptoms: hot-flashes, sleeplessness. Jason’s gentle demeanor, sensitivity, depth of knowledge, and gentle needling lead to a high recommendation.

Sasha b. Cohen, 2014

(google) I have been working w/jason for a couple of years on a myriad of issues. i have seen/felt the differences on many levels–physically, energetically, emotionally. jason’s wisdom, passion and thorough knowledge of healing through this modality is unparalleled.

Nicole Linton, 2014

(google) Jason is well known for his knowledge in acupuncture and Chinese herbs. i would highly recommend him to anyone that is looking to work with an established, reputable acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist. his herb knowledge is wonderful and he uses the highest quality herbs which can make a huge difference in helping heal the body. i admire his knowledge and ability to heal the body from the inside out.

Errol Wuertz, 2014

(google) I was told by my doctor that I would need to have my Gallbladder taken out. I went to see Jason and he prescribed some herbs and did some acupuncture. I have not had my Gallbladder taken out and it has been about three years now. I have not had any problems with my Gall Bladder either. I was very pleased with the results.

Angela McCormick, 2014

(google) Jason Blalack is a wonderful acupuncturist. Jason is extremely knowledgeable, kind and gentle. He has helped me time and time again with particular respiratory related symptoms- a weak spot in my constitution. I would arrive at his office feeling absolutely horrible and walk out feeling much much better. After following his herbal tea treatments for the next course of days, I would have survived my illness with out taking any dreaded over the counter meds or having to go onto antibiotics- both courses of action I try to avoid. Jason Blalack is part of my “health team” and I will continue to see him.

Kari Scott, 2014

(google), Jason is an amazing acupuncturist! Very professional and always goes above and beyond to be sure that you are well, no matter what you are seeing him for. Anyone should feel completely confident that you are getting the best care with Jason. He is passionate about what he does and it shows! I recommend him to everyone I know…I think he is the best!

Gretchen Perkins, 2014

(google) Jason has been instrumental in helping me deal with a life long struggle with stress. He is smart, caring, and was able to read me like a book. I had no exposure to Chinese Medicine, however am now a believer if you have a proficient practitioner such as Jason. I also sent my husband who has been very happy.

Phil Hadley, 2014

(google) Under Jason Blalack’s care, my Lyme disease was identified, my heavy metals were chelated, my immune system was bolstered, and neurotoxins were eliminated — all with herbs, acupuncture and lifestyle changes. Over time, my health has slowly and consistently improved, and I am nearing a complete cure. I am grateful to have found such a patient, skilled and personable acupuncturist, herbalist, and friend.

Fatou Doumbia, 2014

(google) Very caring knowledgeable and friendly environment.

I had been trying to locate some herbs for 5 years. I called so many people in Colorado and California, no one could identify the type of herb I was looking for. A friend recommended Jason Blalack in Boulder. Dr Blalack was able to immediately find answers for me.I am planning to use his service again.

Tracey Scalia, 2014

(google) I have been seeing Jason for more than 6 months now for Rheumatoid Arthritis. Jason is extremely caring and knowledgeable. He has a better understanding of autoimmune disorders than anyone else I’ve seen. I have been able to manage the RA with very little medication since working with Jason.

Laura Weaver, 2014

(google) I have worked with Jason for the last seven years.I originally came in for support with a pituitary tumor and post-surgical healing, but have continued on for years since my original illness. Jason has an amazing capacity to read the subtleties of what is happening in my system and to provide accurate and compassionate care. After every session, I have experienced major shifts in my wellness and state of being. Thank you Jason for the kind, compassionate and highly effective treatment over the years! I am most grateful.

John Manning, 2014

(google) I had seen over 10 practitioners in Boulder for a chronic autoimmune problem with no luck. I had suffered for years. After just a few visits with Jason, my condition started to turn around and eventually completely clear up. I am so thankful for his knowledge, compassion, and skill. I now recommend him to all of my friends and family.

Olivier Libouban, 2014

(google) Jason and the practice at large are just excellent. Jason takes his time to hear you and understand what you experience, to diagnose as accurately as possible, and to follow up. Plus the fact that Jason keeps up with his field makes him a great doctor.

Patrick Keating, 2014

(google) I’ve seen Jason at Good Earth Acupuncture a number of times and he’s always provided the right kind of solution I need. Also, he makes solid recommendations for personal home care that empowers the work he does during our sessions. He’s very professional, a clear thinker, very personable, and I highly recommend his services.

Jim Powers, 2014

(google) I had previously seen many practitioners for a very troubling chronic condition. Within weeks of seeing Jason Blalack, my condition had dramatically shifted, now I am symptom free. Although I had seen many other Chinese medicine practitioners in Boulder and other cities, Jason somehow figured out what needed to be done. We did acupuncture and Chinese herbs. I would recommend Jason to others that have difficult cases that others cannot figure out.

Donald Heath, 2014

Jason Boardman Apr 1, 2015 – Outstanding experience

(genbook) Jason is a thoughtful, well trained, and thorough health professional. His curiosity allows him to consider new and innovative solutions to your particular health needs. I would recommend him to anyone. – Boulder, CO Customer since December 2014

Carrie S Fische Mar 30, 2015 Thanks Doc!

(genbook) Jason has been an incredible physician for our entire family. He always makes time to fit us in when we have something urgent and he is incredible at treating whatever we have going on: from skin conditions, to respiratory challenges, allergies, detoxing needs, singers throat issues, and more. His herbal formulas feel wonderful and always seem to really hit the mark. Jason has a wonderful capacity to listen, not only to his knowledge, but to his intuition and the patient’s body. Thank you! – Boulder, CO Customer since November 2012

Health Gypsy Mar 24, 2015 – Can’t say enough good things…

(genbook) Recently moved to the area to seek treatment for recurrent miscarriage (with IVF in mind). Jason taught me that western medicine isn’t always the answer. I have only been seeking treatment (acupuncture and herbs) for 3 months and so I am not a success story YET.. I can tell you though, I feel a MILLION times better. Sessions are not only healing (physically) but also mentally and emotionally. I have learned that health is an emotional and spiritual journey. I can’t thank Jason enough! – Boulder, CO Customer since December 2014

Increasing Energy and Improving Digestion

I have been suffering from chronic fatigue. I have been adapting my lifestyle, eating healthier food, taking supplements and more. Accupuncture and a Detox program with Jason have both helped me continue to regain my health. I have been impressed with Jason’s knowledge of Chinese medicine and holistic healing and would definitely recommend him to people dealing with hard to diagnose health challenges. – Boulder, CO Customer since April 2014

James T Mar 13, 2015

Great Beginning: sound table is amazing

Once I got the paperwork filled out, Jason was insightful, direct without being rude, and empathetic throughout the intake interview. There is never enough time for everything, but the main points of my issues were teased out. I felt immediately better than I had in 3 weeks after the acupuncture session, and I am actually looking forward; the sound table is amazing. I am confident as we go forward we can solve the issues of anxiety and blues and insomnia, and get rid of the Western meds. Namaste. – Longmont, CO Customer since February 2015

J.S. Dec 27, 2014

Anxiety addressed on all levels.

I have been struggling with severe anxiety for a while and didn’t quite know it was anxiety. Jason has helped me on many levels to understand my experience and provided many resources both as treatments in the office, and things to do at home. He truly listened to my explanation and helped me to see things in a different way. The sound-table & acupuncture helped immediately. Other resources and just being “heard” are life changing. Thank you Jason. So grateful to have found your expertise. – Boulder, CO Customer since November 2012

Ken E Dec 14, 2014

Pinched nerve in neck

I developed severe neck pain, with muscle spasms in the neck, and pain and numbness down my left arm. MRI confirmed a nerve compression. After trials of medication and a course of physical therapy, I was no better, so I thought I would try acupuncture with Jason before taking steroids or having a steroid injection. Within 1-2 treatments, the muscle spasms went away, and the pain and numbness down my arm went away. This has now been 2 years, and with continued treatment, it has not come back. – Lyons, CO Customer since August 2010

Jason has sensitivity, humor, and patience

Acupuncture really works at moving energy in the body. Jason works with sensitivity, humor, and patience. His focus on trying to help the body heal is holistic. Effective treatment without being invasive. I am hopeful an ongoing problem with plantar fascists and pain in ankle, can be resolved so I can become physically active again. – Boulder, CO Customer since October 2013

Gretchen Perkins Sep 5, 2014

Severe Tension Headaches which Pain Medication does not Resolve

Jason continues to be someone I trust to resolve my health issues. My current affliction is tension headaches which he resolved during my session and based on previous afflictions I know he will permanently resolve. – Customer since April 2013

Hassan GebelAug 20, 2014

Migraine in remission

I have suffered from vascular headaches (migraines) for over 40 years. Over that time I have had one to two headaches a week. I started acupuncture treatment in April and now I have been headache-free for about a month. I chose Jason because he was successful with another migraine patient. I can confirm that acupuncture can work for migraines!- Boulder, CO Customer since March 2014

E.M.Jul 3, 2014

Professional and Kind

I have been seeing Jason for years and I feel I can come to him with any health issues, small or large. His expertise in acupuncture and Chinese medicine is incredibly impressive, but he is also able to integrate knowledge of Western medical as well. Jason is a collaborative healer, and I have learned so much about my own health and well-being by seeing him. I am also a loyal convert to Chinese herbs. I would recommend him to anyone. He is very gifted at what he does.- Louisville, CO Customer since September 2010

Relief for Multiple Chemical Sensitivity

After being sick for months, my husband and I very skeptically went to see Jason Blalack. After the first 3 minutes, we realized that Jason was very professional, extremely knowledgeable, and had experience dealing with people who had my condition. His regiment for healing was exactly what I needed. After six months of Jason’s care, I am back to enjoying life again without being sick. Thanks, Jason! – Boulder, CO Customer since January 2014

Kathy CApr 20, 2014

Immune System built!

Jason is very professional and knowledgeable. It is easy to see the passion he has for his work. I can to see him to build my immune system and avoid the seemingly yearly respiratory infections I get. I did not get one this year!- Boulder, CO Customer since November 2013

MelanieApr 9, 2014

Thorough and Consistent

Jason has a mastery of acupuncture that places him at the top of his profession. He listens to my health concerns and applies his prowess. He has helped me with ongoing digestive concerns as well as numerous aches and pains due to repetitive motions. He is thorough and consistent in his gathering of information and implementation of the appropriate method of treatment. -Customer since September 2013

Hassan GebelApr 3, 2014

Migraines

I’ve had migraines for about 50 years, usually about once a week. I have tried many treatments but always treating the symptoms. Jason did a great sleuthing job with a variety of symptoms to zero in on the probable root problem. The first acupuncture treatment made a noticeable difference and I am looking forward with hope to continuing treatment. The root problem also explains my IBS symptoms of about 40 years so hope for that condition is a bonus. – Customer since March 2014

KaiyaMar 18, 2014

Respectful, intelligent, and kind

I was referred to Jason by my acupuncturist in Michigan. He came highly recommended. And I am pleased.

Jason Blalack is world class

With Jason, I felt like I was in great care. He is a fabulous listener – very tuned in – and he was able to see what was going on quickly. Hi acupuncture technique was gentle yet perceptive and intuitive. Many praises. – Customer since January 2014

First Class

I feel like Dr Blalack understood my problem. I was relieved when he told me that he knew the composition of the formula I had hang on to for long time because it was discontinued and of all vitamins and even traditional medecin, this formula helped me the most. Dr Blalack taught me few things about the formula and why it worked for me. He has a very friendly office staff whom made me comfortable. I am very please to have found Dr Blalack. Thank you for helping. Fatou – Customer since December 2013

Hot Flashes

“Hot flashes” sound so benign…Remember your last 102 degree fever? Intense sleeplessness, anxiety; reality fogged in a heated veil. I tried bio-identicals hormones, and FDA hormones felt too risky. Jason’s careful application of herbs acupuncture changed all that. In less than two months, Jason found an herbal formula that made me feel healthy and alive again. I can sleep, I rarely experience flashes. And I feel like a more wholesome, healthy individual.- Customer since July 2013

Pain Reduction

The first Acupuncture treatment Jason Blalack performed resulted in reducing pain in my back and my shoulders. Both of the later are badly damaged. What a relief to be able to start walking normally, and to reach items on high shelves. The need for continuing treatments is obvious- Customer since October 2013

Health in general

I had been referred by one of my personal trainers who swore by Jason.,.So far, so good. I’m always open to new ideas, and certainly the Chinese medicine has been around a lot longer than what we’re use to. – Customer since May 2013

Nicole BAug 6, 2013

Great improvement after two visits

I have been dealing with digestive problems for years. I’ve seen many health care providers, including specialized medical doctors. Nothing so far has helped – in fact some of the Western medicine made the condition worse. Jason’s diagnosis from a Chinese perspective was spot on and tied in with other symptoms I had been experiencing. The acupuncture is extremely effective and the herbs he prescribed also make a big difference. After only two visits I feel much, much better.- Customer since July 2013

Bob KingJun 25, 2013

Not afraid.

I just completed my first visit with Jason /Open Gate Acupuncture. Jason not only spent all the time needed to diagnose and treat my rather complicated condition, but was professional and knowledgeable. The herbs are mixed in the traditional way, along with instructions for preparation. Lastly Jason is not afraid of tackling conditions which a lot of alternative medical providers would shy away from. – Customer since May 2013

Competent, helpful, and compassionate

I have been seeing Jason Blalack for several years for a variety of complaints including insomnia, arthritis, and depression. Instead of the knee replacement the western medical world predicted I would need by now, I am still hiking, biking and active, and I haven’t been on antidepressants in years…I much prefer taking the Chinese herbs Jason gives me. Thank you Jason!

One Word – Amazing!

Jason has been working with me for a while now to discover what’s causing some health issues. He mentioned to me about how I should consider altering my diet and doing a cleanse. I hemmed and hawed for a while and finally gave in. After 3 weeks of a cleanse and cutting out 5 food intolerances – my allergies and asthma symptoms have completely disappeared! This guy knows what he’s talking about!! And he has a great bedside manner! :0) – Customer since March 2011

Makes suggestions for tests that MD’s should do.

Jason seems to be more knowledgable about tests that our physician has never recommended. At our age we should be looking at risk factors and Jason has pointed those out and what tests should be taken. We just wish we lived closer to him. He is easy to talk to, does not push anything on you, he lets you make the decision for testing and gives alternatives to seelct after the testing. – Customer since March 2010
